" 16 ,"stressed the man at the counter, " we'll have a final batch ready 17 ,oh,about two hours.”
Defeated, Carl backed away, but the young mother grabbed his arm.
"You're leaving?"

When I was at school,our teacher often said,“You are what you eat. ” She wanted us to eat the right food to be healthy.
Japanese people are said to be the healthiest in the world. They eat rice and fish and vegetables every day. They drink green tea or water when they’re thirsty,and snack on dried fish,fruit or nuts. So we can believe that you become what you eat. When you know the advantages of different kinds of food,you can use your knowledge well and eat what you want to become.
Have you ever heard any of the following advice?
* Lettuce or milk can make you sleepy while peanuts or dried fish will stop that feeling.
* To keep your teeth clean,you should eat apples often.
* Garlic(大蒜) helps to prevent colds.
Future restaurants might be named after what they hope to create. Let’s take the restaurant “Winners” as an example. Its menu would list dishes specifically designed to help you win sports games. There would be rich tomato sauce (調(diào)味汁) full of vitamin C and soft vegetables. All this would have a little fresh cheese on the top—just enough to help you get a good night’s sleep.
What will happen to junk food in the future? If ice cream is not good for children,can’t we give them fat-free,sugar-free tofu ice cream? We are told dried fruit is a healthier snack than biscuits,so some biscuit companies are making biscuits with more vitamins. So in the future,you might be able to eat your way to health!
